What are Liquidity pools?
Liquidity pools are an investment product that allows users to receive passive income by providing liquidity (tokens) to a pool for AMM (Automated Market Making). Users who have provided tokens to the pool are called liquidity providers.
A liquidity pool is a smart contract with a pair of tokens on its balance (for example, USDT / XTN), that provides liquidity for WX Network decentralized trading. The liquidity pools facilitate and speed up the trading process by means of AMM (Automated Market Making). The AMM algorithm automatically fills traders' orders by using pools liquidity. AMM controls the proportion of tokens in each pool depending on the price change.
By investing tokens in a pool, the liquidity provider receives the LP token (for example, USDTXTNWXLP). The growth of the LP token price and, accordingly, the cost of all LP tokens on the balance of the liquidity provider is its passive income. The liquidity provider is able to increase its income by staking LP tokens. Staking LP tokens, the liquidity provider receives WX tokens, the income from the sale of which is his additional passive income. To boost this additional passive income, the liquidity provider can "freeze" their WX tokens. This will lead to an increase in the number of WX tokens that the liquidity provider receives for staking LP tokens.
